Rumor Has It

Bradley Cooper Could Play a Rebooted Indiana Jones

When asked last year if he’d be willing to play Indiana Jones again, 71-year-old Harrison Ford said it was “perfectly appropriate and O.K.” for him to reprise the role. He added, however, the he thought the character “doesn’t necessarily have to kick as much ass.” Rumor has it that Disney is not so keen on a gentler, kinder Indiana Jones. Though Ford has been rumored to play Indy in a fifth installment of the film, the studios want very much to move forward with the franchise. As the rumor goes, if Ford’s Star Wars commitments keep him too busy, and that kinder, gentler script fails to come together by a certain date, then Disney will move forward rebooting the franchise without Ford.
